Another stadium visit that didn’t go as planned. My initial desires were to go on May 4th, because it was Star Wars Day (We went on the same day last season). Unfortunately there was a death in the family, which had us spending May 4th in West Virginia. We headed back that afternoon hoping to make it to Nashville in time for the game. A longshot, but I was determined. Alas, the fates worked against us and we left West Virginia later than I expected. Good thing. We hit a lot of rain on the drive through Tennessee. This rain also played a part in the game being postponed until May 5th.
Lucky us. We decided to head to the ballpark Early Sunday morning. The game that was postponed was to be played on the 5th as part of a double-header. Wow, two double-headers in a row for me. For these games I was accompanied by Jade D.
The weather was a huge improvement from the previous day. The rain had pushed east and Nashville had a spectacular day. The temperature at game time (2:05 pm CDT) was in the upper 70’s.
Unfortunately, the home team dropped the first game 11-2. The second game started 30 minutes after the first ended. Nashville took the night cap 7-5.
